As the whole day passed, other members of the territory gradually realized that the peaceful period had arrived again.
So the next morning, when Ye Miao led his men to escort the four core members of the Red Maple Village to City T, the atmosphere in the territory was full of joy.
The Peaceful Period is the best. It means both monster and crop yields are stable and normal, making it relatively friendly to both foragers and combatants. As long as everyone works hard, they can all have a stable income.
At the same time, the extreme high temperatures that followed the last period of peace also made everyone more alert. Almost without exception, players thought of taking this opportunity to stockpile more resources and make more money in order to prepare for the next time the system behaves inhumanely.
So after breakfast, everyone started calling their friends: "Let's go! Let's go out and fight monsters! We can't lie down now! Everyone, roll up! Don't fall for the system's tricks!!!"
The surrounding players burst into laughter as they walked out of the territory gate in groups. A few minutes later, several veteran members entered the residential area, where the thatched and wooden houses were located. They were specifically looking after the lower-level members who had just arrived from Red Maple Village. "Hey, are there any groups? If not, let's check with our team. We distribute supplies fairly and are friendly to newcomers. Let's fight monsters together?"
"I think this girl is a really good forager, right? Come on, our team is definitely for you. Everyone hands over 5% of their daily foraging harvest to the team, and the rest is all theirs. The portion you hand over is used to buy hoes and shovels for everyone. You don't have to prepare anything, just show up!"
"Are you still worried about your next meal? Are you still envious of the pets at the market but can't afford them? Come join us! Our team does everything from gathering to monster hunting. The atmosphere is wonderful and the members are friendly. We also have a limited supply of stamina potions every day!"
The new members were completely bewildered by these words. Where had they seen anything like this back in Red Maple Village? In that hellish place, the lower-level players were forced to fight each other. Resources were limited, and they, as the lower-level players, had nothing. They could only wait for the mid-level and higher-level players to leave with their hauls and pick up what was left. So, with one less player, the remaining players could harvest more.
As for the teams of mid- to high-level players, joining them was out of the question. A large portion of the senior players wouldn't even bother to speak to them, and the rest weren't quite so pretentious, but the team was so strong, why would they let a low-level player like you join and lower the average?
Under such circumstances, the division between players is becoming increasingly greater, the strong are becoming stronger, and the weak are becoming weaker, to the point where even maintaining basic livelihoods has become a problem.
The residential area was bustling with activity for a while. Most of the new members joined the team. A small number of people did not join other people's teams, but they formed a few small teams on their own. It was also nice to go out together.
In Lin Shiyun's combat team, several new members who had just been recruited were feeling nervous. They looked around and saw that every big boss in the team was basically dressed in purple, while they only had blue clothes, which were given in the territory's minimum living allowance gift package. They seemed out of place in the team.
An eerie silence lasted for several minutes. Song Tian quietly followed Lin Shiyun and said carefully, "Captain, although our level is okay, our equipment and skills are not very good. We will hold you back."
"Hmm?" Lin Shiyun glanced at her and smiled. "It's okay. You can just buy the equipment and skills. Go kill monsters for a few days, and when you have money, go shopping at the grocery store or the market. Your strength will improve quickly."
She spoke briskly, but everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Why is that? Why not wait until they become stronger before taking them with you?
Song Tian looked at Lin Shiyun with a complicated expression: "Captain...are all the people in 'Pure Land' so selfless?"
"...Selfless?" Lin Shiyun couldn't help but laugh twice, then shook her head and said frankly, "I can't really call it 'selfless'. Look at 'Pure Land' now, isn't it pretty good? The prices and atmosphere are all good, and the relationships between players are simple and friendly."
Song Tian nodded: "Yes."
Lin Shiyun continued, "You arrived late, and you came here because you heard about the reputation of 'Pure Land' first, so you think this is normal. But I've been here since the first day this territory was established. I've watched it grow and develop step by step, and I know exactly what it takes to achieve this."
"In the beginning, we were small, less than 30 people. We all lived together, and friendship came naturally. But then our numbers gradually grew, and maintaining this virtuous cycle was both easy and difficult. First, the attitude of the leader was crucial. She'd been showing goodwill from the very beginning—but look, now there are 3,000 people in the territory, a hundred times more than at the beginning. How could she alone be so kind? We all need to work together."
Song Tian didn't quite understand: "So you guys just spontaneously 'released kindness' together? Isn't that quite selfless?"
"No," Lin Shiyun shrugged. "If I were to say 'selfless', I wouldn't care how I live, I just want others to live well. But in this matter, I'm actually very selfish. I just want to make myself live comfortably. You see..."
Before leaving the gate, Lin Shiyun pointed in the direction of the market. "The market can operate healthily, with both buying and selling going on, because everyone has supplies and extra money. We can sit together peacefully, eat, and chat because everyone has a job, doesn't have to worry about making a living, and doesn't have to become hostile to each other over the cost of a meal. And it's precisely because of these things that we, the veteran players, have been able to live comfortably. So of course we have to maintain it. What would we do if it collapsed?"
"That's true..." Song Tian nodded thoughtfully.
"That's right, so we, the old members, have already discussed it a long time ago, and we'll do whatever we can in the future. It's all within our capabilities anyway, so we'll just do it, and it won't cost us anything."
Lin Shiyun's words were quite open-minded, but they were also true. In the apocalypse, there were always divisions between people. These new members of the Red Maple Village, from the lower classes, would have to work hard to achieve a comfortable life, while these lucky veterans had everything they needed, even financially independent. In this situation, asking them to lend a hand wasn't difficult at all; it would actually add some variety to their lives. After all, just killing monsters day after day was pretty boring.
Song Tian was speechless: "Then those who went to the residential area to recruit people just now, are they all old members?"
"That's basically it. There are also a few younger members who have joined in the fun, hahaha." Lin Shiyun sighed and laughed, "Well, anyway, just work hard for the life you want to live. If others don't agree with this idea, that's fine. It seems that what we old members are doing is effective. Hopefully, there won't be any major unrest in the territory."
"Hmm." Song Tian reflected on what she had just said, her mind a little distracted. In her original concept, if the "Pure Land" was so beautiful, everyone must have a very high moral sense. However, Lin Shiyun's statement was very simple and down-to-earth.
This down-to-earth approach actually made it more convincing. Song Tian sighed: Yes, such a good atmosphere, everyone has to work hard to maintain it even for themselves!
Song Tian, who always asked herself if she could be a saint, suddenly hoped at this moment that she could be like them, taking care of newcomers and showing kindness.
The reason is simple: for myself.
T City.
Ye Miao and his men sent the four core members of the Red Maple Village to the big boss of the hospital dungeon [Internet Addiction Expert] one by one. As expected, the four of them were all unable to fight alone, and were all wiped out when the ultimate move [Blessing of Lightning] was released.
Ye Miao did not waste resources. He waited until they were dead and then went in to fight the boss. In this way, he could pick up the skill cards dropped by the four people. Each of them had several golden skills, so he would not miss them.
But after leaving the hospital copy, she did not leave T City in a hurry, but went to the base, which was the original Red Maple Village.
On the day of conquering Hongfeng Village, she only took away the lower-level members due to the limited number of spots left in the main territory. The middle and senior members who were doing OK were left behind, but she couldn't completely ignore them.
As Ye Miao entered the territory, he heard several people sitting by the bonfire in the square whispering, "Have you seen the new announcement? Four more have been killed, and they're being 'exiled' to internet addiction specialists."
"Ah, I know that boss. A one-on-one fight is impossible. Isn't that a death sentence?"
"It's almost the same, but it's much more comfortable than Wei Hua's death. If you ask me, those four weren't good people either. It's not unfair that they were tortured like Wei Hua..."
As they were chatting, they suddenly noticed someone behind them. Turning their heads, they saw a cold expression on their faces and jumped to their feet: "Lord..."
Ye Miao's eyelids twitched: "My name is Ye Miao, just call me by my name. If you're not used to it, you can call me Boss."
"Oh, Boss..." Several people changed their words, with an inexplicable sense of guilt on their faces. The one on the far left asked bravely, "Boss, is there something wrong?"
"Just take a look." Ye Miao said calmly, "The number of places in the territory is limited, and we can't let everyone go for the time being. What do you need here? I'll find a way to solve it."
Several members looked at each other in silence, their gazes shifting back and forth. After a long while, someone finally whispered, "Need..."
Ye Miao looked over and asked, "What's missing?"
"Let's see where we compare it..." The person who spoke lowered his head, "If we compare it to the 'Pure Land', everything might be..."
Before he could finish his words, he was elbowed hard by his companion next to him.
Speaker: "Why did you hit me?"
Ye Miao was helpless in the face of their unreasonable restraint and shook her head: "I'll go to the grocery store and the market to have a look."
After a quick tour, Ye Miao gained a basic understanding of the base. The person who'd said, "Compared to the Pure Land, there's probably a shortage of everything," wasn't wrong. Supplies were scarce here, and therefore expensive. Food prices were generally three to five times higher than in the main territory, and rare items like purple gear were even more expensive, fetching up to ten times the price. Furthermore, the general store didn't offer the same guaranteed three meals a day as in the main territory, meaning everyone had to spend a fortune just to eat. Life was understandably tough.
How to solve this problem if we can’t bring the person back?
Ye Miao thought for a long time on the way back and couldn't help but look at Chu Cheng again and again.
Chu Cheng noticed it quickly. When she looked at him again, he looked back calmly: "Don't look. What's the matter?"
"Hmm..." Ye Miao hesitated, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Would you mind helping me manage the base, being the head of it or something? I want to get the members' lives back on track as soon as possible, so I need someone to keep an eye on them."
Chu Cheng frowned suddenly and wanted to refuse without thinking.
He was willing to help her, but if he became the head of the stronghold, he would be far away from the main territory, and of course away from her.
It would be fine if he was the only one leaving, but Fang Yuming is still eyeing the territory...
Chu Cheng said lightly: "I also have VIP food delivery service. If you breach the contract, you will have to pay compensation."
"That's right." Ye Miao sighed. Thinking that he was also a "businessman" now, it was indeed inappropriate to delay his work.
Chu Cheng looked at her silently. Seeing her worried look, his heart softened. "Forget it. I'll go find a traveling merchant and buy an NPC to help me deliver the food. I'll take care of the stronghold."
Ye Miao's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Then I'll give you an NPC!"
"Okay." Chu Cheng accepted it calmly and then asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Ye Miao pondered and said, "I don't have any specific arrangements. I want to use bonuses to encourage some casual players, especially vendors in small markets, to move to the base to do business. They should be able to directly make up for the shortage of supplies and bring down prices in the base. But the atmosphere in the base has always been bad. I'm afraid those players will dislike them and something unexpected will happen. Please help me calm the situation and prevent them from causing any trouble. It would be best if we could quickly make the atmosphere in the base similar to that of the main territory so that everyone can get along better in the future!"
"Okay, that's easy." Chu Cheng nodded. "How many people do you plan to transfer?"
Ye Miao hadn't made up his mind yet, so when he asked, he decided to discuss it with him: "Do you think 50 people are enough? I'm thinking of getting 20 food technicians, 10 blacksmiths, 10 pharmacists, 5 tailors, and 5 smelters. That should be about right, right?"
"That should be enough." Chu Cheng nodded thoughtfully. "Could we also let the base recruit some lifestyle players on its own? Although it's just a base, it bears the name 'Pure Land' after all, so there should be many people willing to come."
"You can give it a try," Ye Miao said. "The upper limit for the number of people in the stronghold is 1,000, and it has independent recruitment authority. I'll make you the person in charge, and you can make the decisions directly!"
"No problem." Chu Cheng said calmly. After a pause, his face became more serious. "I just have one question."
Ye Miao: "You say."
"Will I be able to return to the main territory in the future? You won't keep me in the base forever, right?"
"Of course not!" Ye Miao was very firm about this.
From her perspective, establishing a "base" wasn't necessary. Her plan was to upgrade the main territory to a "city" as soon as possible, then have all the members of the base move into the main territory. As for the base, it could be left as is, or the system could reclaim it; it wasn't crucial.
"That's good." Chu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled calmly after hearing that.
If she told him that he would be staying in the base from now on, he would have to either resign immediately or apply for weekends off immediately, and he would have to return to the main territory regularly for a few days to avoid being taken advantage of!
In the archer team of Ye Miao and Chu Cheng, Ye Miao was the only one with low agility. The other five people were all high-agility professionals and were much faster than her.
Now that Ye Miao had a horse, his speed had increased, and the time it took to travel to and from City T had been cut by nearly half. So, when they returned to City T at noon, after a leisurely lunch and a short rest, Li Chenqi, who had been left waiting at the door by Ye Miao, sent a message: "Boss, the people from Tiaodeng Town are here."
Ye Miao immediately opened the dialog box and informed a few familiar high-level players, calling everyone to go greet them. As she walked out of the door, she saw a girl about her age looking around with sparkling eyes.
"Hello." Ye Miao quickened her pace and walked over. The other party turned his gaze back to her, the brightness in his eyes becoming more obvious. "Are you Ye Miao?"
"Yes." Ye Miao was embarrassed for a moment when she walked in front of her, because An Ruoying was almost 1.7 meters tall and was almost a head taller than her when standing in front of her. She suddenly felt that she had lost her momentum.
But An Ruoying didn't care at all. She still had that sparkling look in her eyes and extended her hand to her in a friendly manner: "I am An Ruoying, the lord of Tiaodeng Town."
"Welcome." Ye Miao shook her hand, adjusted his attitude, and invited her in. "Come on, the territory is bustling right now, let's take a walk around first."
"Okay!" An Ruoying looked very happy and her pace quickened unconsciously.
Ye Miao opened the interface and quickly set their group to "visitor" status so they could enter the territory. Behind them, senior members of both sides had already started a friendly exchange. Chu Cheng extended his hand to the male swordsman walking in front: "Welcome."
"Thank you." The male swordsman shook hands with him, but his expression was indifferent.
Chu Cheng couldn't help but look at him more, but didn't say anything. When he turned around again, the two female lords were already chatting happily.
An Ruoying: "How come you are so amazing? Can I ask what you did before?"
"I'm a programmer." Ye Miao smiled. "What about you?"
"I work on the street." An Ruoying said.
Ye Miao pointed to the southeast corner of the territory and said, "This is the market. Come on, take a look around."
An Ruoying: "Okay!"
Three steps away, Chu Cheng looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile.
Girls are really interesting. They can be friends if they want to.
A step further away, Pei Yi, who came with An Ruoying, watched all this vigilantly: The Hongmen Banquet, it must be the Hongmen Banquet!
Everyone knew this so-called "Pure Land" had just devoured the Red Maple Village, and who knows how many people had been killed. Those claims of upholding justice were simply to maintain their persona, and I wondered why the boss believed them!
Has the boss been bewitched?!
An Ruoying, of course, had no idea that her core members were going crazy with their comments. As Ye Miao walked into the market, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, your market is so nice! There are even little houses!!!"
"Alas, there's nothing we can do. The market is too big. If it were all stalls, it would look messy. Building a neater entrance would accommodate more customers." Ye Miao smiled. "Have you eaten yet? If not, take a look and see what you want. I'll treat you!"
An Ruoying couldn't help but feel regretful: "It's too far. I'll eat first if I'm hungry on the way. Let's eat in the evening... I want to eat something good in the evening!"
"Okay." Ye Miao looked around. "Then I'll go to the Kailai Hotel and book a table. He Kailai is the best chef in our territory. I'll take you to try his food."
"Okay!" An Ruoying agreed. Chu Cheng, who was following Ye Miao, coughed and said indifferently, "How about I do it?"
"Oh..." Ye Miao realized belatedly that he had said something wrong and immediately corrected himself, "Chu Cheng can do it too. I was wrong just now. Chu Cheng is the best chef in our territory, and He Kailai is the best chef for external business!"
"Wait... Chu Cheng?!" An Ruoying turned her head abruptly and gasped, "You, you, you are that..."
Then his tongue started to get tied up: "You are... No, why is it the cook?! Ye Miao, he is clearly, yes, yes..."
"I know, Olympic champion, archer." Ye Miao pulled her hand with amusement, thinking An Ruoying was quite amusing. Although she was much taller than her, her temper was like a child's.
"Ah, we can go shopping in this shop first." As they walked, Ye Miao noticed a storefront beside them and immediately pulled An Ruoying in, explaining, "This is a shop opened by several vendors. They sell snacks. Take a look and see what you want to eat and buy some to enjoy."
"Oh... Oh my god!!!" An Ruoying was shocked when she stepped into the store. "Is there someone in your territory who specializes in selling cakes? Where did all these cake cards come from?!"
Ye Miao said, "When you make money, buy new ones and slowly expand the variety. If you like pastries, there's a special cake shop in the back. You can go check it out later."
“…” An Ruoying was very envious, but had to admit, she was also a little frustrated.
Before coming here, she felt that she was inferior to Pure Land in terms of equipment and potions, but the food on both sides was similar, both in price and variety.
Now it seems that she is not losing in terms of food prices, but in terms of variety...
She almost suspected that there was some kind of cheat on the Pure Land side.
Just like that, the members of Tiaodeng Town watched their boss enter the town of getting rich overnight and fall in less than five minutes. Then, he seemed to have forgotten everything and just strolled around the market for three hours. Even though he had already had lunch, he still couldn't help but try many delicious foods.
Fortunately, players will not be overfed in this game mode, but today it is obvious that they are not going to kill monsters or gather food, and everyone feels sad to see the food being wasted.
It was almost 16:00 when they finally finished shopping at the market. An Ruoying had calmed down and went to the villa with Ye Miao to discuss business.
The next two hours, if described in the serious terms of the news, would be "the two lords held a cordial and friendly talk on the future development issues, and An Ruoying, the lord of Tiaodeng Town, expressed high appreciation for the contribution made by the overnight rich town to the stability of T City."
In the eyes of the core members of Tiaodeng Town, the situation is roughly like this: their boss has lost the ability to think, and she thinks everything others say is right.
Fortunately, the territories on both sides are at the level of small towns. If Tiao Deng was one level lower than Yiqiu Fu... they had no doubt that the boss would apply for a merger on the spot.
After a general chat about their respective situations, Ye Miao asked An Ruoying: "Are you serious about forming an alliance?"
"Yes." An Ruoying drank the iced juice she had just bought from outside. "I really can't stand those lords who engage in slavery, but I was too lazy to cause trouble before. Now if someone fights alongside me, I'm willing to take action. However..." She paused, a look of confusion in her eyes. "I want to ask what's going on with that Tianju village? I heard they also want to form an alliance."
Ye Miao sighed: "Do you know Tianju Village?"
"I don't know." An Ruoying shook her head. "I looked at the map. That place is in the northeast corner, very far away from us. I haven't even heard of them."
So that's it.
Ye Miao nodded and said succinctly, "They're not a good place either. They don't have slavery, but they do have stratification, and life at the bottom is still tough. Of course, I know it's not easy for everyone in the apocalypse, and many territories have to adopt this model to ensure development. But if we form an alliance, I don't want such an ally."
"Then why not?" An Ruoying shrugged casually. "For something like an alliance, both parties must reach a consensus. It can't just be wishful thinking. If you don't like it, just reject it. Or if the other party is willing to change... What did they say when they contacted you? Can you tell me?"
Ye Miao's face darkened when he heard this: "He hasn't contacted me."
"?" An Ruoying was startled, sensing something was wrong. "They told the public they wanted to form an alliance, but they didn't contact you privately? This is very strange."
If it were her—if Ye Miao hadn't contacted her that day, she would definitely have contacted Ye Miao. Otherwise, what would be the point of just saying it to others? Would the two sides be considered allies in the future?
"It's really strange." Ye Miao twitched his lips slightly. "I don't know what they're planning, let's wait and see. If there's nothing wrong, I don't want to rashly make things awkward. There's no need to create an enemy for nothing."
"That's right." An Ruoying nodded repeatedly and said slowly, "Making enemies in the apocalypse is the most annoying thing. If you're not careful, it could be a matter of life and death. It's better to be cautious."
"yes."
An Ruoying sighed and turned the subject aside. She then asked Ye Miao sheepishly, "I heard you've formulated a law here. Can I take a look? I, I want to plagiarize this..."
"Hahahaha." Ye Miao was amused by her choice of words. After thinking for a moment, he told Chu Cheng, "Please ask the legal team to come over." He then told An Ruoying, "The situations in each territory are different. Don't just copy and paste. It's better to adapt to local conditions."
"You have a dedicated legal team!!!" An Ruoying was so surprised that her back straightened up.
The core members sitting nearby rolled their eyes in their minds: What else!!!
Do you think she could have drafted all these laws by herself? She's a programmer!!!
Boss, use your brain!!!
Don’t make the filter so thick!!!
At 18:00, Chu Cheng prepared the dishes and the welcoming banquet on the first floor of the villa began.
Everyone gathered around the table, watching as golden dishes were served one after another. Since the high-ranking members of Overnight Rich Town and Chu Cheng's VIP clients overlapped significantly, they were not surprised by this, but those in Tiaodeng Town were shocked.
Looking at the calm faces of the other members, the people from Tiaodeng Town were even more surprised: Jingtu, you really are something.
"Come, try this shrimp." In order to show his hospitality, Ye Miao personally picked up a piece of crispy fried golden butterfly shrimp for An Ruoying.
Pei Yi's eyes were slightly cold. While An Ruoying was chatting with Ye Miao, he immediately picked up a golden butterfly shrimp and bit into it without thinking.
Everything is normal, nothing unusual.
Pei Yi relaxed temporarily and saw An Ruoying pick up the golden butterfly shrimp from the plate and eat it, without saying anything.
After An Ruoying finished the shrimp, she picked up a piece of braised pork with abalone and asked Ye Miao, "The atmosphere in Hongfeng Village is so bad. Will you be affected by bringing people here? If you lead us astray, it will be a big loss."
Ye Miao said, "So I only brought the lower-level players here first. They had a miserable life before, so they will be more willing to integrate into the better life here. As for the mid-level and high-level players, they will stay at the base. In a couple of days, Chu Cheng will lead some people over to see if we can 'assimilate' them. If we can, it's fine. If not, we will make other arrangements."
Halfway through her conversation, she saw Pei Yi, who was sitting on the other side of An Ruoying, also picked up a piece of braised pork with abalone and stuffed it into his mouth quickly and impatiently.
"Is that so?" An Ruoying nodded in understanding, eating the braised pork with rice, and then asked slowly, "What about the core members? They are definitely not good people. I suggest you don't keep them. But letting them out is not good either... What if they hold a grudge and will definitely cause trouble for you in the future."
After saying that, she picked up a three-shred spring roll.
"I have handed over the core members to the legal team for trial. Those who have committed serious crimes will be sentenced to death. The rest are not that heinous and probably won't do anything too extreme." As Ye Miao answered, he saw Pei Yi quickly pick up a three-shred spring roll and put it into his mouth.
Ye Miao's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her eyes turned to look directly at him: "The two territories are one in the south and one in the north. If I really want to annex them, I will be exhausted. So there is no need to poison your lord. You don't deserve it."
"Cough..." Pei Yi, who was trying hard to swallow the spring roll so that he could eat the rest, choked unexpectedly.
An Ruoying turned her head in surprise: "What do you mean by poisoning? What did you do?"
“……!” Pei Yi choked even more violently, his eyes wide open, and he seemed like he was about to suffocate at any moment.
Of course, this was just a small episode. Ye Miao was very accepting of the fact that "no one trusts anyone in the end times". The reason why he exposed it directly was just to be frank and not want this distrust to continue.
As long as she's honest enough, it's others who will be embarrassed! After Pei Yi finally swallowed the spring roll, he dug his toes into the ground in embarrassment: "No... I didn't... cough... I didn't..."
I can't even speak anymore.
Deng Wei, who was sitting at the same table, looked around and narrowed her eyes meaningfully.
How interesting! She had seen some gossip again! Pei Yi liked An Ruoying, absolutely. It was even more obvious than Chu Cheng liked his own boss!
It turns out that behind every outstanding female lord there is a diligent pursuer!
If you think about it carefully, it seems to be natural.
That night, Ye Miao arranged villas for all the members of Tiaodeng Town to stay in. An Ruoying had a separate villa, and the others were guaranteed a comfortable bedroom so they could all get a good night's sleep.
But An Ruoying didn't sleep for a minute. She took stamina potions and read documents all night.
They actually have laws, so powerful! Although the mechanism is not perfect, at least for now, the trials of several cases are reasonable and well-founded. I admire them!
And judging from the testimonies, their psychological team is also very reliable. Wow, this is really not an ordinary territory.
As the sun rose, An Ruoying, who had been shocked the entire night, wanted to kneel before Ye Miao. With her blood boiling, she couldn't help but wonder: Can the towns be merged? As long as Ye Miao was willing to give her a deputy lord, she would do it!
But as daylight dawned, she calmed down again: "What merging?! The territory she had painstakingly built was no longer hers alone. Not to mention the contributions of all the players, at least the core members had worked very hard. If she really proposed a merger, she would be irresponsible to everyone!"
What she should do is to build her own territory better. Even if she can't surpass the town that got rich overnight, she should at least try to catch up and narrow the gap.
If the two territories can continue to grow bigger and stronger in the future, one in the north of T City and the other in the south of T City, it will largely mean that the vast majority of players in T City will be able to live a good life.
At the same time, Ye Miao took advantage of the fact that the team in Tiaodeng Town had not yet gotten up and finally had time to walk into the reception hall and issue a new announcement.
[Ye Miao] In order to ensure the living conditions in the stronghold, we are now recruiting living players to move to the stronghold.
Recruitment conditions: Cooking*20, Blacksmith*10, Pharmacist*10, Tailor*5, Smelter*5.
Welfare:
1. You will be provided with a private residence of the same level as the main territory free of charge, and the private residence in the main territory will also be retained;
2. Additional resettlement fee: 3,000 gold coins per person.
other:
1. Unless there are unexpected events, the stronghold will not exist forever. Once the main territory is upgraded to the "city" level, you can return at any time;
2. Additional compensation will be provided if there are changes to the plan;
3. The main territory will send a senior player [Chu Cheng] as the head of the stronghold to station there and maintain order.
As soon as the announcement was made, the stall owners at the small market began to discuss the matter. Everyone had different opinions. Most people, of course, didn't want to leave the main territory, but 3,000 gold coins was a lot of compensation, and they understood the boss's intentions.
Players with a "visitor" identity did not receive a direct notification. Pei Yi, who had just gotten up early and was strolling around, saw the announcement when he walked into the reception hall 20 minutes later and breathed a sigh of relief with mixed feelings.
Judging from this announcement, the lord who became rich overnight is indeed a person who is very considerate of the small players. Such people are generally not bad. His vigilance was so high yesterday, which shows that he is a bit petty.
If he put aside those worries, he had to admit that it was good for An Ruoying to have such an ally.
In the villa, Fang Yuming woke up and saw a pop-up notification. His eyes fell on the two words "Chu Cheng" and he couldn't help but take a breath.
He originally thought that if he raised his level, he would be able to compete with Chu Cheng in front of Ye Miao, but now it seems that the gap is getting bigger and bigger.
What's the difference?
Fang Yuming thought about this question every day, but he couldn't find the answer, and he didn't understand why Chu Cheng could do it so easily.
Was he not active enough? But when he was active, Ye Miao was very unhappy. And that time, Chu Cheng was also there, and Ye Miao was very unhappy with them.
The author has something to say:
An Ruoying: Enter the pure land, put on my thick filter, and let go of all defenses.
Pei Yi: Wear the same guard that An Ruoying had taken off as before.
